[Fascinate General] cableguy1:
I had the exact same prob. My gps problems have been completely intermittent, sometimes it would lock on and other times it would not. No matter what rom or radio I flash. But this is what seems to work pretty well.

1. Don't use the gps toggle button on the pulldown. Use the settings.

2. Use google maps v4.7 and don't let it update.

Hope this helps...
[Fascinate General] egorzilla:
I've been using the option from the pull down menu with mixed results.

I've started going into the location & security and enabling/disabling gps from their with much much better results.

Thanks for that tip :).
[Fascinate General] onemotodroid:
With SC 2.4 ROM GPS was working GREAT!!

I updated to SC 2.6 and I cannot get a lock at all.

With Wi-Fi on the best i can do is get my location and the directions. I can only guess that maybe the clock was changed / tweeked in the later versions.

When I get time I will be rolling back to SC 2.4 ROM.
[Fascinate General] heric1:
I have determined it is not a hardware issue as someone else in my area is experiencing the same issues. I updated to EB01 and super clean 2.6. My lock is about 50% now. Either the service is great and locks right on or doesn't at all with the massive blue haze. Someone suggested going back to super clean 2.4?

Once again thanks for all the help guys!
[Fascinate General] notoriousB:
this is the key. and one of the main reasons I went back to DL09 on my phone until the next build comes out.

if you turn it on in settings-->location&security it will work, and then you can turn it off/on via the notification bar for a while, until you reboot your phone...
[Fascinate General] elguapoloco:
Is it google navigation having the issue?

I continue to play around with this issue, and am noticing people talking about still being able to be picked up through GPS tools, but not get locked elsewhere. I am assuming that, like me, they are referring to google navigator giving the message "Searching for GPS". Oddly enough, Google latitude is accurately showing my location even when google navigator is telling me it is "Searching for GPS" and drops my turn by turn instructions. I saw one post from cableguy1 to use google maps 4.7 and disable updates, which I would be interested in trying. Anyone know where I can get v4.7?

*Never mind. Didn't pay attention to the fact that my Wifi was on, and the location was a couple houses off. It simply looked precise in comparison to the big blue circle I'd seen while driving. Sorry for the misinformation.*
[Fascinate General] bigshotproducer:
SC2.4 doesn't have any locking issues for my wife. Good to go there, but not sure if we're just lucky.
[Fascinate General] elguapoloco:
2.4 working well

After finding a couple other threads addressing GPS issues, I've noticed people with sc2.4 to have the least problems. Flashed the AIO Odin version, and have had an instant lock so far all morning. Very nice to have google navigaion back :D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longjohn91:
Are you flashing through Amon RA or Clockwork? I would use RA and make sure you do a full wipe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd0axs:
Is the ROM you are flashing signed? If not it will abort unless you turn off signature verification. Not sure if Clockwork lets you do this (I haven't used it in forever) but RA does. Of course, if a dev can't properly sign their ROM then you probably shouldn't use it anyway.

Pls i need help

Hi there, phone screen remains black and no visuals after flashing rom, so I canrt see anything on screen or know what to do about it, pls help?

Details -

After flashing ROM from SD card via which seem to go well... ONLY that the screen is blanked out, no lights except the key lights, phone comes on, responds to touch by giving normal sounds like when I use flick the scroll lock and touch the screen etc (just because I know how the phone works) but problem remains that I cant see anything, so I cant even boot into recovery or download mode to flash again since its all black and dimly lit.

I have a B63M running Gingerbread 2.3.5 so I am not sure what model of HTC it falls under in case this question or similar has been asked already.

I was able to initially get into flash recovery using the mobile uncle tool which allowed me get into recovery, something that has been impossible using the stock recovery in b63m.

I backed up the ROM , cleared cache and daikvil cache then went on to flash ROM using an update.zip and then the touble I explained above.

This is a current situation pls I need help getting back up and flashing the right lattest rom for my phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayDubya09:
SORRY, i didnt realize at first that you dont have an evo, so i dont know if these instructions will help you

turn your phone off, remove and reinsert battery.

hold vol-down then power until HBOOT loads.

use vol keys to navigate and power to select the word "recovery" to boot into recovery.

I suggest you download roms over wifi if you havent as over 3g can cause roms to download wrong and cause issues
[Vibrant General] jmarciallopez:
I just flashed trigger 2.6.4 it's a great ROM. The only dissapointment the Avatar movie doesn't want to work, not even going directly to the file on the SD card. I searched the forums for an answer but only found questions. Does anyone at the team that developed the Trigger have an answer or solution?:(
[Vibrant General] javolin13:
it has to do with the kernel that is running, if you flash a stock kernel back on it, it will work again, but then you lose all the benifits of speed and all that jazz
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
Just curious, why do you want Avatar?
[Vibrant General] Romanbb:
It has nothing to do with the kernel honestly. Avatar has issues with all roms honestly. Sometimes this works for some people. Go into application settings, find drm, clear cache. Reboot a couple times and try it. This hasn't worked for me, but it has for others.

I would like to send videos to family members for viewing on their PC/Mac, but it seems that everything is recorded and sent as a .3GP file, which none of them are able to view. Rather than asking them to have file converters, or sending it to myself first, is there a setup (can't find one) or utility that would run on the phone such that the file that is sent is in a more common file format?

It will not proceed beyond this point. If I press Cancel, OH WAIT!! It finally went to the next screen then the normal "device not supported" screen. Took a looooong time, as compared to previous startups. It's back up now. I started to abandon this post, but will post it in case someone else has the same problem. Haven't customized it yet.

P.S. Can't figure out how to rename panels or set SPB to switch to landscape. Anyone?
[Nook Color General] bugeyed1:
Trial period!

Hopefully this beta release has this turned off???

Quote from 3.5 user manual:

"Registration

You will be able to use SPB Mobile Shell until the end of the trial version period of 15 days. If you have not

registered SPB Mobile Shell within this timeframe, you will need to do so to continue using it.

To obtain the serial number you need to purchase a SPB Mobile Shell software license and you will receive your

serial number by e-mail."

My concern is that I will like this app. & will not be able to buy a copy that I can register on the NC.

Kev
[Nook Color General] Jgrimoldy:
I got the same error. If I wait about 1 minute (maybe less) and then dismiss the error, the SPB works.

While visually impressive in an "ooooooh! Shiny things!" sort of way, there's a few issues:

* The 3.5 beta that I was able to install is clearly designed for a smaller screen. The icons and the spacing on the spacious 7" NC screen is HUGE. I can't find a way to change the resolution to take better advantage of the large screen.

* The SPB launcher does not toggle between portrait and landscape. Bummer.

* The animations in the carousel mode don't really serve any purpose beyond being dancing bologna.

* While SPB touts a great deal of customizability, however that appears to just be at the surface level. I can't find a way to change fonts, tab labels, or set individual panel wallpapers.

I don't know that this will be quite worth $30.
[Nook Color General] samoukos:
Darn it. I get a "device not supported" error. How did anyone manage to make it work.??
[Nook Color General] Jgrimoldy:
All I needed to do was remove the Zeam launcher from being the default action of the "n" key. Reboot. After unlocking, the NC will prompt you for which launcher to use. Select the SPB. It will go thru the activation process. When you get the unsupported device message, just dismiss it.

matrix, looks like your's is working well. Mine too on Eclair. Still haven't figured out how to best use it. I wish it had an app drawer that kept all installed apps. Seems that, if you move an app to a folder or another panel, you could loose track of all the installed apps. no? Maybe there's a way to restore all apps to a panel & start over without uninstalling it. Oh, is it likely that this one will expire? Any idea if there's a way to get the icons to be closer together? Also, the icons seem to auto arrange, so I can't place them where I want on the screen. Questions, questions????

[Nook Color General] matrix2004:
Yeah keep in mind its just beta and not even for the Nook. You have to keep reregistering when you reboot and even sometimes during normal use. It doesn't save your settings.

[Nook Color General] Jgrimoldy:
After playing with this for about a day, it won't end up being my daily driver. I'll keep it on my NC for bragging rights (Look what my $250 eReader can do! :p)

Even though it's a beta, it's just not customizable enough. You can't add additional panels, and a few of the panels are not too useful. We don't need an entire panel for the weather, nor do we need an entire panel for a clock, or even an entire Flickr panel. It's frustrating that you can't change the font or icon size or the wallpapers on the individual panels. Nor does it support animated wallpapers.

Though some of the panels come alive in carousel mode, they don't do the same actions in panel mode. I couldn't figure out a way to change the linked browser in the lower-right to something other than the NC default browser.

I was excited about folders but then realized that these "folders" don't actually allow you to traverse the file system.

I'd love to see an email panel, or a browser window panel. Facebook and twitter panels would be nice. A news panel would be far more useful than a weather panel.

At first I was excited, but after a day, I'm just, "meh.."

Yes, it looks very nice. It's shiny and does a lot of cool motion. It really was sucking down my battery quickly though. After the thrill quickly wore off, I was left wanting more. Again, I know it's a beta, but the final revs aren't usually too much more feature-rich than their betas.

FWIW, my NC is Autonootered (3.0) with 1.1 firmware. I'm not sure if that's the magic combination to get it to work or not, but it works on mine. If you're familiar with BitTorrents, the APK for the SPB 5.0 beta is not difficult to find.
[Nook Color General] bugeyed1:
Jgrimoldy,

I agree with a lot of what you said. I did change my default browser hot key to Opera, but don't know how I did it. Maybe dragged it there?

I was a bit underwhelmed by the default panels & the lack of landscape mode ruined it for me. This morning my NC started up & asked for activation, but it should have been sleeping & hadn't rebooted. When it finished it's authentication, it came up with various apps running not the SPB screen. When one app was closed, another would launch. Even the last book I was reading! At some point it restarted on it's own, then started the sequences over. At one of these screens I went to app drawer & started home switcher & launched Zeam. I will keep an eye on it for the reboots, but SPB shell is dead-to-me. I do have some new ideas for configuring a launcher that looks unique, so it was a valuable exercise. I hope I don't have to uninstall it, but right now it won't launch after the "device not supported" message. After an intentional reboot, switching launcher to SPB ends up briefly displaying an SPB panel & immediately switching to Zeam. Oh well, It was fun, but I guess I am done with it!

Cheers,

I've been using SPB Shell for about a week and I love it because it isn't as boring as most launchers and I wanted to give my Nook a different feel. Could use some more customization settings but hopefully those will come via update. Would love the option to have the carousel as the home screen. Never had any problems with getting it to work either.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Yeah, SOS, Different Platform. SPB Mobile Shell was a ram-hogging expensive dog on Windows Mobile and it's no different on Android. I saw someone post it uses 50-60m of ram running, although I have trouble believing that number as I'm pretty sure the max is 24m per process by default.

Hi there,

I know this seems very backwards (most people have only negative things to say about the TouchWiz Calendar from the Galaxy S series) but my dad really likes the TouchWiz Calendar because of it's easy readability and simplicity.

Is there any way to port it from the SGS to the Sony XPERIA x10 (CM6.1)?

I tried copying the .apks (CalendarProvider and TouchWizCalendar specifically), and it FC's.

This is the error retrieved from logcat:

Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrHassell:
Remove the other calendar first, system default app - com.android.calendar - xrecovery dalvik cache

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mangelok:
Got a little further...

So after following MrHassell's instructions and reading the errors, I got a little further

The errors seemed to indicate that it was missing a few files, so I decided I'd put them on to the phone from my gt-I9000 as long as they weren't already there.

I pushed the two files:

android.test.runner.jar and

com.google.maps.jar (don't know why it needs this, but it was complaining so I gave it to it)

to the XPERIA.

Now I'm getting the following error:

This is part of a series of errors but this was the lowest "Caused by" error.

Obviously it's missing something still, but the cryptic TypedValue code doesn't help me much. I've used the apktool to decode the TouchWizCalendar.apk calendar into smali files and res, but this also hasn't helped me much.

Any further suggestions?
